Powers/Abilities: Alec Maloni had no
superhuman powers but was very skilled in the use of police computers.
His computer housed a sophisticated virus checker capable of catching
even the most minute breaks in programming. In the field, he carried
two molecular disruption guns capable of harming even Spirits of
Vengeance such as Vengeance or Ghost Rider.

History:
(Ghost Rider III#72) - When many of
the NYPD were standing around trying to figure out a series of murders
possibly caused by Ghost Rider, Alec Maloni entered the room and
announced that someone had very precisely breached the NYPD's security
systems, commenting that the NYPD were lucky that he was on staff to
notice the break. Lt. Jim Sokolowski sarcastically noted Maloni's
modesty and asked for more information, to which Maloni replied that
the burglar had went in and out like a scalpel and he commended his
virus-checking software for catching the break. Sokolowski then asked
what information was stolen and Maloni informed "Ski" that the designs
for a molecular disruption gun were taken, though he mentioned that if
the hackers had waited one more day, they would have also gotten the
upgraded design plans. Knowing that the guns were designed to destroy
superpowered vigilantes like Ghost Rider, Lt. Sokolowski ordered Maloni
to trace and apprehend the thieves, commenting that no one messed with
the NYPD's wires.

(Ghost Rider III#74) - After Stacy Dolan ran into a
crazed Vengeance while searching a Brooklyn tenement, Alec Maloni and
Lt. Sokolowski came to her aid, with Maloni hitting Vengeance with
blasts from upgraded molecular disruption guns. When Vengeance
continued his attack, Maloni and Sokolowski continued to hit Vengeance
with the weapons while Stacy got to safety, seemingly vaporizing
Vengeance. Once the area was secure, Maloni watched as Sokolowski
chewed Dolan out for withholding information on Vengeance, whom Dolan
had been friends with in his civilian identity of Michael Badilino.
Maloni then accompanied Sokolowski to St. Jude's Hospital's burn ward,
where he and Sokolowski spoke with the severely burned agent Uno. They
learned from Uno that Michael had lost control while battling the Hand
and transformed into Vengeance, burning all of them and Uno as well.

(Ghost
Rider III#75) - Alec Maloni and Lt. Jim Sokolowski went undercover at
the Atlantic City Grand Adventura Hotel for the annual Mobsters'
Cotillion, where they hoped to prevent Vengeance from murdering the
mobsters in attendance. Maloni whispered that one sweep by the cops
would leave all of the mobsters present arrested. Resigning himself to
staying undercover and knowing that he was not there to arrest all of
the mobsters, Maloni held his cover until the mobsters' chairman gave a
speech and blew the two police officers' cover. Maloni was then hit in
the back of the head with a gun stock and the chairman commented how
nice it was that the NYPD had managed to make an appearance in New
Jersey without a warrant or probable cause. Despite Sokolowski's claims
that they were there to protect the mobsters from Vengeance, he was
shot by Anton Hellgate, who ordered his agent Rak to take the
unconscious Sokolowski and Maloni to Hellgate's car for later
experimentation.

(Ghost Rider III#76) - When Stacy Dolan was also
captured and taken to Hellgate's car by Rak, she managed to free
Sokolowski and Alec Maloni and return to the battle site inside the
Grand Adventura just in time to prevent John Blaze from killing
Vengeance. Maloni reminded Blaze that no one was qualified to make a
judgment as to whether Vengeance deserved to be put out of his misery
or not before Anton Hellgate and his agents attacked the assembled
heroes. During the battle, Hellgate's agents dogpiled on Vengeance, who
ordered Ghost Rider to get himself and his allies out. Vengeance then
began building his internal hellfire to explode, prompting Sokolowski
to order Maloni and the others out of the building. After making it
out, Maloni and the others watched as Stacy Dolan ran to her father,
who had suffered a heart attack.

(Ghost Rider III#77) - As Arthur Dolan recovered,
Maloni commented to Sokolowski that he could really use a cigarette and
a shower. When Sokolowski told Maloni to go on home, Maloni replied
that he'd like to stay and see Arthur Dolan wake up to cuss everyone
out. Dan Ketch soon came in to visit and smiled at Stacy through the
glass window, prompting Sokolowski to get up and leave and Maloni to
follow.
